I'm very familiar with AMD drivers having had a system with 6950s in Crossfire for no reason whatsoever other than I liked headaches, super fun to flash them and overclock so they were basically 6970s felt like I was cheating the system. Then having a system with an R9 580X in it I'm well versed in AMD

I never had much of a problem with their drivers though to be honest other than the very odd game that would just not play nice with AMD cards but those days are long in the past

They've had nothing but headaches lately unfortunately. I don't know this so take it with a pinch of salt, they really struggled to get performance out of the latest cards in VR so I think it was them trying to come up with a fix for that which led to driver headaches elsewhere.

Yikes, yeah I've heard they aren't great in VR but it's not something I'm all that interested in gives me mad motion sickness which is weird because I never get motion sickness any other time

I don't even know why I'm looking at GPU upgrades my computer barely gets turned on these days and the most demanding game I play is Diablo 4 which the 3060Ti has absolutely no issues running at 1440p but hey new shiney is always a factor

So I’m not the biggest expert in PC parts or how to build them, (it’s why I buy custom PC’s here) and I’ve no idea what kind of motherboard I will need for a potential 5090 card. One video I saw suggested a ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming Wi-Fi Motherboard, but it seems PC Specialist doesn’t sell that one.

Would anybody else know what motherboard I should consider? Any responses would be a great help!

If you have a look at the stick in "Check this spec" and then start a thread with what you're considering we can help sort you out with a build. Always better to get advice on the build as a whole, rather than individual components.

Any modern motherboard is going to be fine for any GPU, the motherboard consideration is more for the build as a whole.... with a bit of extra thought to the CPU, rather than the GPU.

5080 went immediately to out of stock. The 5090 hasn't changed at all. I've been eyeballing it since 13:50 :ROFLMAO:

Paper launch by the looks of it. At least in the UK.

I was refreshing from 1:58 and the 5090 didn’t even look like it went live before the site crashed.

I think that's them trying to weed out scalpers. The site seems fine, it just kills you in cookies. If you open a new in private tab you should get back in. I've been closing and opening since 13:50 and it's not gone live on the site yet.

All the options are a little cheaper an upgrade to an existing build though.

5080 from £980-£1260

5090 from £2400-£2600

ETA: and have now changed to be the same as for new builds...so maybe prices went up from when they initially put them into their database?!?!?!
